LAWRENCE COUNTY – CSX plans to replace railroad ties at two crossings in downtown Louisa. The first work is scheduled February 27- March 3 at the Madison Street crossing near Speedway.
The second crossing, on Jefferson Street at Jackson Brothers Auto, will be done some time in March.
Highway District 12’s Permit Engineer, Jody Hunt, said that message boards will be set up in advance to notify people that the crossings will be closed to traffic. There will also be detour signs that motorists can use to avoid the work zone.
“Oh behalf of CSX, we want to thank people for their patience and understanding during this time,” said Andrea Janka of Safety Services & Supply, a CSX contractor on this job. “We know this is a temporary inconvenience for people, but we also know that the railroad crossings will be much smoother and safer when the work is finished.”
